Conley Correspondence

As we approach the end of the school year, we’re excited to celebrate our 5th graders with the traditional Clap-Out on the last day of school, Thursday, May 23rd! While this is a students-only event and families cannot attend in person, we invite you to join us virtually, as the Clap-Out will be live streamed on the Conley Elementary Facebook page.

Let’s cheer on our 5th graders as they take their final walk through the halls of Conley!

📸 Tune in live starting at 1:15pm

We are excited to announce that Huntley 158 will once again host its community-wide reading initiative, Raiders Read Together, for elementary students and families this summer! The program is modeled after the popular “one book, one community” concept designed to engage students, families and the community in reading the same book and discussing its important messages and themes.

Stay tuned for this year’s book “reveal” and program details on Monday, May 19th! A video message from Superintendent Jessica Lombard will be sent to families via email.

Huntley 158 is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their individual needs, can fully participate and enjoy the Raiders Read Together experience. If your child requires modified materials, digital resources or other accommodations to engage in this literary adventure, please fill out this form and we will see that the materials get to you.

Summer EBT, or “SUN Bucks,” is a nutrition program authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help combat hunger by providing financial assistance to qualifying families so they can buy food for their school-aged children over the summer. Summer EBT for 2025 will provide a $120 annual benefit per child to eligible families via an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) issued by the Illinois Department of Human Services. Huntley 158 students who have participated in the free and reduced lunch program during the 2024-2025 school year automatically qualify for this benefit. The $120 benefit per child will be added to LINK cards for families who are part of the SNAP program. Families who are NOT part of SNAP will receive a debit card in the mail. IMPORTANT: If your child participates in the district’s free and reduced lunch program and your address has changed, please email studentupdate@district158.org as soon as possible and include your student’s name. For more information about Summer EBT, visit the Illinois Department for Human Services website.

We are excited to provide Ukrainian Language Classes for students, made possible through a collaborative partnership between MPAC and Huntley School District 158. Classes will be held on Fridays from September to May (excluding no-school days) at Mackeben Elementary School, from 5:00-7:30 PM. To register, please complete the Ukrainian Language Class Registration Form, or for more information, email uaschool158@gmail.com or call 773-332-3636.

In accordance with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Illinois School Code, physical examinations are required for all Huntley 158 students entering pre-school, Kindergarten, 6th and 9th grades, and for students transferring from out-of-state. Physicals are also required for students participating in interscholastic sports. The physical examination must include a record of all immunizations the child has received. For more information about health requirements and how to submit medical records, visit the Huntley 158 website.
